Can we get some styling documentation for this? I love the theme and I’ve been able to easily make some changes, but it’s unclear what I need to edit to adjust some finer details.

For example, I can’t find what I need to edit in the stylesheet in order to place a simple line dividing each of the forums on the main page. It seems like all the elements that would allow me to do that have been hidden, but there’s not enough help for me to be sure.

Also, when viewing a single category’s forums, the styling and functions seem to have a serious breakdown.

Do I need to edit the stylesheet, functions, or both to remedy this issue?

Thanks again for the theme! It’s been a huge help so far!

Hey guys,

I’m here to find a forum that I can integrate in a website I develop in my free time (http://www.carspending.com/). I need absolutely minimalistic forum software with i18n support and basically that’s most of it. But I’m not interested in WordPress, for now.

So, in one sentence – is it possible to integrate bbPress and create single sign-on, without WordPress at all? Have someone done it? Are there tutorials on the sign system of bbpress?

So far the quotes plugin works amazing.

For the unread posts and the post rating plugin, i’m getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bbpress() in…

Any idea how to fix this? (I will donate to the cause.. glad to see someone putting out new plugins to make bbpress more like a normal forum).

I read this entire thread and I am still unclear about this. On my site, I am trying to make a user Keymaster. The user’s WordPress role is subscriber and I want them to have the forum role of the keymaster. The problem is that the user can not see Forums menu item on their dashboard and can not perform keymaster actions. So how do we make someone a keymaster without giving them access to administration of the whole site?

Thanks @netweb, that looks promising!

Hi,

Setting up a WordPress membership site with bbPress. All is well except this site uses an external program for membership control and all email and password changes must be done in the external program.

I noticed that bbPress allows a user to edit their WP profile. I need to block this. I don’t need a forum program to give a user the ability to change their WP profile. Any help on how to remove the “Edit” link from the profile page would be greatly appreciated.

I have updated Mingle.php over in trac here with what I hope should fix things up.

Let me know what other issues you have found that we might be able to improve upon also.

Is there a way to convert IPB into bbpress?

[Stephen Edgar]

This is bbPress here, you want to ask BuddyPress questions over here 🙂

Have a look at a few of these plugins and see if one of them will suit your needs.

Take a look at the freshly released bbPress Post Ratings plugin that @sadr mentions here.

Thanks for trying to solve that. I was just going to let it go but it’s turning into a problem when I try to make use of the “bbPress Topic Thumbnails” plugin which attempts to find the image in that first post only and does not look further. At least new posts will not be an issue but it sure would be nice to have the rest discovered.

I saw some discusses about the usage of Latex in bbpress. I guess maybe the easiest way to enable Latex in bbpress is to use Mathjax.

Put the following script code into the block of the header.php in the theme. This will load the latest version of MathJax from the distributed server, and configure it to recognize mathematics in both TeX and MathML notation. For details, refer to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn and http://www.ouruniv.com/topic.php?id=4

script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”>
script

The above script is not the exactly one. The shape bracket is omitted since the code won’t be displayed with it. You could copy the right one at http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn

I do not why the script above is not displayed.

I’m putting together a forum site for a group of sailboat owners. We currently are using a Yahoo Group to share ideas/ask questions, etc., but it is difficult to search. What we LIKE about Yahoo is that we can choose to receive an email for each new topic post AND Reply, or we can receive a daily or weekly digest. Most of us use the daily digest since we are out in the islands cruising and bandwidth is difficult to come by. Many of us actually use a Single Side Band radio with a Pactor modem and a program called SailMail that allows us to send/receive text emails at very slow speed (300-19200 Baud!!). I can’t find a plug-in that can provide email notification like Yahoo does. Any suggestions? I’ve set up bbPress with BuddyPress, but we don’t use the group feature in BP.

Thanks,

Thank you for these wonderful plugins and kudos to destroflyer.

I have a quick bug report about bbPress Direct Quote in that the citation link is for jmonkeyengine. Obviously it should be pulling the data from our sites.

[Stephen Edgar]

I created #2172 and patched the issue of ‘special characters’ in ‘blogname’ for bbPress subscription emails.

I’m still looking into the @mentions and I cannot reproduce it.

Do you get this error for every @mention in your forums?

[rossagrant]

Bloody hell, now the email subject looks fine above as it HASN’T been output as raw html in this forum.

The subject in the emails shows the apostrophe as pure html though.

It’s hard to show here as the forums seem to change html to how it should be displayed.

So to clarify:

– In my DB issue with the syntax, that &#8217 DOESN’T show in the error log – JUST IN THE FORUM POST – it shows in the error log as another single quote.

– The subject line of the bbpress notification emails is outputting the apostrophe as raw html.
The from address is fine and shows the apostrophe normally. It’s just the subject line that is wrong.

Phew… thanks!

I’d love to have Tapatalk support on bbpress. This is truly great news.

[Stephen Edgar]

I can’t see what the cause is straight up so could you paste the entire code in a gist at @GitHub please, also a dump of the relevant DNN database schema would be helpful.

(We will also add this DNN converter to bbPress for others wishing to convert from DNN)

I’m trying to do something and have hit a wall.

I want to have multiple “hub” pages on my site each with a custom menu that I’m serving using my themes slider.

It all works great on the hub pages but forums are not pages of course, so I cannot get a slider at the top the same way I can on a page0.

The forum index is ok but as soon as a forum or topic is clicked I lose any obvious way to serve my custom menu.

Must haves;
– Each hub has it’s own menu
– the menu must exist on every hub child page and forum to allow navigation

Is there any sensible way to do what I want?

BBpress 2.1, Buddypress 1.6, WP 3.5, Dynamix theme
I have HTML/css moderate skills, low php, but willing to get contractors for what I can’t do.

[craig2kenneth]

I’m having two issues:

1) When my users are logged in they they get the following message “We’re Sorry But That Page Could Not Be Found”

However when I’m logged in as admin (keymaster) I can see the entire forum & topics. This is also for those who are not logged in.

2) The other issue I am having is I did a fresh install of the latest version on bbPress, but now the option to create new Forums & Topics is gone from the admin side bar located in the admin side of the site. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling more than once.

Please help!

Hey fellow forumites. We’ve been using bbPress 2 to much delight over at jmonkeyengine.org for a little while now. After transitioning from the legacy BuddyPress forum, we needed a couple custom plugins made to reach feature parity with our old forum. One of our members, destroflyer, brilliantly stepped up to the task and made these plugins:

• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-direct-quotes/ – Does what it says on the tin.
• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-unread-posts/ – We’re aware of existing plugins. But to maintain the same experience for our users it seemed more appropriate to roll our own. If some version of “Unread Posts” comes to bbPress core we’ll probably readjust to that.
• http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-post-ratings/ – This was made to fill in for BuddyPress Rate Forum Posts. We successfully converted all of our old ratings to bbPress. We have a plugin for that as well, though since it’s an edge-case thing we haven’t published it. Feel free to message me if you need this converter for your site.

Please be aware that @destroflyer cannot actively support these plugins (legitimate bug reports are welcome of course) since their original intent was for in-house use, and he’s making them public as a courtesy.

Enjoy!

Dangit, should’ve subscribed. That’s great news, I’ll be checking it out.
